"BUSINESS REVIEW" NAMES SAINT ROSE A “BEST PLACE TO WORK”

ALBANY (November 15, 2010) -- The Business Review has named The College of Saint Rose one of the “Best Places to Work” in the Capital Region.

The award recognizes the College's achievements in creating a positive work environment that attracts and retains employees through a combination of benefits, working conditions and institutional culture. Saint Rose is one of six companies and institutions with more than 500 employees, and one of 30 overall, to receive the highly sought designation on the strength of its employee evaluations.

“Two words describe what makes Saint Rose a great place to work: our employees. This award confirms what we have always known: the ability of our faculty, staff and administrators to work together as a community, dedicated to the Saint Rose mission, is a constant that defines our character and sets us apart from many of our sister institutions across the higher education landscape. We are proud to be recognized as a ‘Best Place to Work,’” said Dr. David Szczerbacki, acting president and provost.

Since 2005, The Business Review’s “Best Places to Work” has singled out firms and institutions in the Capital Region that are fun, challenging and rewarding places to work. More than 6,700 employees from 100 companies participated in the web-based survey assessing employee attitudes about their workplace. A third-party firm, Quantum Workplace Inc., analyzed the data.

The Business Review will profile the top companies and institutions in a special supplement of the December 3 edition and at a celebration luncheon December 3 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Albany.
